Elucidation of Genotype × Environment Interaction for Identification of Stable Genotypes to Grain Yield of Rice (Oryza sativa L.) Varieties in Bangladesh Rainfed Condition

Abstract

The research was evaluated in seven ecological zones throughout the country following randomized complete block design with three replications in each location. The combined analysis of variance for grain yield indicated that the differences among all sources of variation were highly significant (P<0.01). Environment (E), Genotype (G) and G × E interaction effects explained by 25.54%, 17.02% and 48.97% for inbred and 35.26%, 17.03%, 31.23% for hybrid of the total sum of square, respectively. Locations E2 (Chattogram); E3 (Dhaka) for inbred and E2 (Chattogram); E4 (Khulna); E5 (Rajshahi); E7 (Sylhet) for hybrid varieties were found most discriminating and more informative among all. Ideal environment was found in E6 (Rangpur) for inbred and E4 (Khulna) for hybrid varieties. According to GGE mean and stability biplot, the most stable genotypes were G18 (BRRI dhan34); G26 (BRRI dhan52); G28 (BRRI dhan57); G19 (BRRI dhan37); G13 (BR25); G27 (BRRI dhan56); G21 (BRRI dhan39) for inbred and G2 (BADC hybrid dhan-2); G4 (BADC hybrid dhan-6); G5 (Bayer hybrid dhan-4) for hybrid compared to the other genotypes. The ideal genotypes were found G18 (BRRI dhan34) for inbred and G26 (BRRI hybrid dhan6) for hybrid varieties. In summary, we identified stable genotypes adapted across the environments for grain yield. These genotypes can be used as commercial cultivation with sustainable production as well as a parent/pre-breeding material in future rice breeding program.

Effect of Planting Dates on Stability of New Rice Genotypes Traits Grown in Iraqi Conditions

“…Incomparable to Forat1 variety which showed a response to favorable environments for the traits of the number of days to flowering 50%, the weight of 1000 grains and grain yield, while being responsive to poor environments for the panicle length trait, and an unstable response to environmental conditions for the rest of the traits. Besides, the Anber33 variety showed the lowest grain yield (4.563 ton.ha -1 ) by responding to suitable environments for the two traits (weight of 1000 grains and grain yield) and it has responded to unfavorable environments for the panicle length, also it is difficult to predict linearly for the rest of the traits (Meena et al, 2016;Kumar et al, 2020;Debsharma et al, 2021).…”

Developing climate-resilient rice varieties (BRRI dhan97 and BRRI dhan99) suitable for salt-stress environments in Bangladesh

“…The other winner genotypes G5 (IR87872-7-1-1-2-1-B) and G9 (BR8980-B-1-3-5) make up another mega-environment. Also, the genotype in the polygon (for example G3, G6, and G13 for Mega-E1) was less sensitive to the location than the winning genotype [ 45 , 57 ]. The two other corner genotypes, G5 and G9, were low-yielding ( Fig 4 ).…”

“…The AMMI results showed that genotypic effects, followed by GEI effects and environmental impacts, contributed the most. The higher value in IPCA 1 and IPCA 2 was enough to analyze the whole G-E interaction [43][44][45]. The existence of a substantial percentage of LGI dictates the analysis of the stability of elite rice genotypes over locations.…”
